| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Mar 19, 2012 - 20:37 I went to a Battle of the Bands in Lewisham, South London in the early 60's and half of the 10 bands played this track and the other half played "Wipeout". Interminable. |
| Art_Carnage (DeepintheheartofTexas) | Posted: Dec 15, 2011 - 15:22 Oooooh. I remember having this on a Ventures cassette, back in the day, along with the Hawaii 5-0 theme. |

| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Dec 02, 2010 - 12:48 Growing up with Delta blues, swamp rock and juke joint funk, this always hit me as something from a different vein. The clear vision of the new west That's how it seemed, totally out of context and with no frame of reference, to a kid in the mud and humidity. Had no idea what the west coast was really like, and wouldn't find out until some three decades later as a Santa Barbara resident. Returning, I bypassed the South and went straight for the (sub)Tropics, but still remember the emotion. |

| DDB61 | Posted: Nov 17, 2009 - 08:32 Two instrumental bands I'll listen to almost anytime, anywhere: The Ventures, and Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass. Guess that dates me, huh? |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Nov 03, 2008 - 05:16 Wow! This really takes me back to sitting in my Gran's living room listening to a stack (literally) of 45s on my uncle's then state-of-the-art gramophone. 7 from the Nottingham jury. |
| coloradojohn (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan -- 15 min. west of Shinjuku, center of the freaking Universe) | Posted: Sep 01, 2008 - 02:13 I was just thinking the other day after a Dengue Fever tune how much they remind me of these guys...so Bill and Becky remind me why I love this station above all others in the galaxy I've heard so far... WAY COOL; you guys are THE BEST! |
| lee_sf (2nd floor, corner) | Posted: Jun 29, 2008 - 21:43 I like the 1964 version better. More produced, full cheesy-cool organ accompaniment, overall more polished. Still a great song. |

| Ericac (Lakeville, MN) | Posted: May 29, 2008 - 10:45 My older brother bought this ablum and we played it over and over. In it's time it was so "radical". I still love to hear old Ventures tunes. |

It settled a question here in the office.  woot! The lack of information on the original release (i.e., which c.d. or l.p. a song was included on) really bugged me, especially on some of the older stuff. If I am going to try to get to know an artist I am not familiar with, I want to get familiar with the music as it was released, not repackaged. The old links info often gave a recent release date on songs I knew were over 15 or 20 years old, and then having to hunt through other links to figure out which album was the original release was a pain. Thanks, R.P. |
